Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
In accordance with the permitted contractual change mechanism, these modifications take account of changes in requirements and additional work to be delivered under the existing contract. The ‘total contract value after the modifications value excluding VAT' in this notice has been updated to include these.

The overall nature and duration of the contract as described under ‘II.2) Description’, remains unchanged.

Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire.
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
The service required is integral to the works SWECO are contracted to undertake as specialist active travel consultants on this same project. External funding was sought by the University of Edinburgh on behalf of the BioQuarter Partners to move this workstream forward due to its importance for delivery of the BioQuarter Vision. In March 2023 Paths for All confirmed that an application for funding for this workstream had been successful, with the stipulation that the grant must be spent by 31st March 2024. This funding is for Specialist Active Travel Consultants to deliver sustainable travel initiatives for BioQuarter partner’s staff and students based on-site.
Due to delays in project timelines the intended services had stalled having an impact on the project timeline and contract dates.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £205,312.68
